Welcome to the Hernia Symptoms blog at BlogSavy.com, I hope this finds you well and you’re not suffering from any type of hernias. Unfortunately, you’re likely concerned about this else you wouldn’t be here – so I’m going to do my best to help you figure out some of the causes of this condition, risk factors along with some common treatments for the symptoms of a hernia. I will maintain only the latest, most accurate and up to date information to the best of my ability.

Bear in mind, with all the information contained herein, that I am not a board certified doctor. I’m someone with a lot of knowledge about this condition and I hope that I can help others get better and stay better. I shouldn’t have to say (but I will) that if you think you might have a hernia – go see your doctor. Only he can diagnose your condition accurately. You should not rely on the information I write as your sole source of medical advice, that just wouldn’t be wise.

Symptoms Of A Hernia

A hernia occurs when an organ in your body breaches through an an opening in the wall of your abdomen. This often causes your abdominal wall to bulge out, especially when your ab muscles are tightened. This isn’t the only type of hernia, however it is the most common. In hiatal hernias, for example, part of your stomach protrudes up through the esophagus opening in your diaphragm. There are many kinds of hernias, each with their own set of symptoms and treatment.

Causes Of Hernias

There are many things that can cause a hernia, some of them you can do something to prevent and others are hereditary. The most common causes are pregnancy, which weakens the abdomen, and lifting heavy weights or straining very hard. Of course, other contributing factors like the strength of your core, your age, weight and having recent surgery in that area can all contribute.

Closing Statement

As you can see, there’s a lot of information to cover. I look forward to your feedback, and I hope that you’ll find the information you need to make a smart decision about your health. It is always a good idea to read other sources about hernia symptoms; and remember, if you think there’s any chance you’re suffering from a hernia (or any other condition) – please see your doctor immediately. Thanks for reading, and of course we hope this finds you in good health.
